Fall Soccer Season

Myles, Sydney, and Ryker all played soccer this Fall, which made for busy weeknights and really busy Saturdays. Sydney had practice 3 nights a week, and Ryker one night a week, and all three had games on Saturdays.

Myles played with the TOPS soccer program again, which is geared toward individuals with disabilities. He is showing improvement each season, both in his skills, and in his ability to attend to and follow directions, and understand the game. He really liked it this season, and was really proud to have his own soccer team.

Sydney was again on the Rainbow Rockstars. Gilby joined Coach Ian as the assistant coach this year, which was fun for him and Sydney. Their team ended up pretty decent, and Sydney has some natural talent, although not much of a competitive nature.

Olivia and Sydney have been in the same class for three years, and are best friends, so it was fun to have their dads coaching together.

Ryker was on his first true team this season - The Avengers! He ended up with a great team and coach, and had a lot of fun. They plan to stay together for spring season, and hopefully more years to come. Ryker will end up going to the same school as 4 of the 6 players. He is the second to youngest on his team, and it showed a bit in his ability and attention. He still has promise to be a good soccer player, but just needs a little more growth. He had fun and definitely loves game day snacks!

 Ryker scores!

And Brayden here was a trooper through it all. He watched lots and lots of games, and when anyone was gone in the evening he would ask, "Soccer practice?"
